smile once more, so that everyone can see it:
you are happy and that’s nice!
don’t tell everyone, we’ve been hurting your feelings,
try to ignore it and keep on smiling.
rule out the names on your papers.
helping hands don’t wear rings.
so long and don’t forget to call me.
don’t forget about the mess we’ve been in.

close your eyes and you’ll see:
it’s not that bad after all.
and maybe somehow someday you’ll find out
it’s not said that life is unbearable.

you don’t even have a flat.
who do you think you’re kidding
when you fool the fools like that?
oh, we’re having so much fun.
there’s the love for this life and the love for the loss
and the way we behave when we think no one’s looking.
so go and figure it out!

there are not enough women for all your sad songs.
so what do you want me to do?
there is anger and aggression but they don’t affect me.
so what to you want me to do?
